on the tools used in the fifteenth century,
"About half-way through the fifteenth century, lines of shading were
added, sometimes with the help of a pushed instrument, a sort of thick
scrive, which is a hollow V tool with the point set back from the top
edges." "ETCHING AND THE ENGRAVING TECHNIQUES AND THE MODERN TREND"
John Buckland-Wright p. 172
